I've seen photos and videos of the Ganges River online and on TV, but I never thought that I would be able to visit this place. The chaos and the ancient way of life were just pictures and videos from some far away land, and now I got the chance to get right in the thick of things.

It was my first time traveling to India. The first stop of my month long trip around India is Kolkata. I didn't know what to expect aside from the stereotypes about India I've heard from friends. I kept an open mind on what to expect as the hours of my flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kolkata wilted away as the plane made its final descent.

Da Lat was the last stop I visited during my three weeks adventure in Vietnam. The cool weather was refreshing; it was definitely different compared to the usual hot, humid, and rainy weather I experienced in the country.

I was in Da Lat during my last few days in Vietnam. I was looking for something to do other than go canyoning because it was quite expensive and I was at the tail-end of my budget. A friend who has been to Da Lat told me about Pongour Falls. After seeing some pictures, I decided to head to see the waterfalls.
